The C9 Series chassis is an ideal platform for the new SWTX (16 x 13-inch) motherboards allowing quad XEON and up to 32GB of memory in a high performance in a low cost 4U rackmount enclosure. Feature rich, the C9 Series is a solid, robust design which will meet the most rigorous and demanding requirements.

The enclosure is constructed of 18 gauge steel, clear zinc plated for corrosion protection and an attractive appearance. The front panel is attractively detailed and is of heavier gauge than the chassis.

The chassis provides for three 5.25-inch drives and one 3.5-inch drive, all front accessible. Various drive adapters are available to allow hot-swap IDE and SCSI drive configurations.

The power supply is a front mounted redundant supply.

A full width lockable door covers and protects the drives. Accessible behind the door is the power and reset switches. The drive and alarm LED's are mounted on the door.

A full width filter is provided behind the door and is easily accessed for cleaning. Cooling is provided by four 90mm 51CFM hot swap fans.

An alarm status board monitors fan operation and chassis temperature. An alarm is sounded and contact closure is available for an alarmed state.

The C9 Chassis provides for mounting an SWTX (16x13-inches) or EATX (12x13-inches) motherboard. The C9000 Chassis accepts a 20-slot passive backplane. An innovative card hold-down mechanism assures cards stay seated in high-G environments such as shipping.
